    <h1>
      Inspecting the Result of Evaluating an Expression
    </h1>
    <p>
      Inspecting shows the result of evaluating an expression in the Expressions view.
    </p>
    <ol>
      <li>
        In the scrapbook page, either type an expression or highlight an existing expression to be inspected. For example: <code>System.getProperties();</code>
      </li>
      <li>
        Click the <strong>Inspect</strong> button in the toolbar (or select <strong>Inspect</strong> from the selection's pop-up
        menu).
      </li>
      
  <li> The result of the inspection appears in a pop-up.&nbsp; </li>
      <li>
 The result can be inspected like a variable in the debugger (for
        example, children of the result can be expanded).
      </li>
    </ol>
